Voting Problems
...in an election year full of presidential politics, the local elections receive so little publicity, that I am sad to say I don't know who is running for local offices.
...my wife is working during the election and was contacted recently about it, so I actually know that there is a local election coming. However, I doubt that she knows the candidates either.
...our local newspaper recently posted the county wide candidates, all unopposed, so that also added to the lack of motivation to actually get informed and vote.
